We can already connect "AI" to API, which means it can interact with various tools. Right now, we still have to tell it what to do, and we have to give it specific instructions, like an automation flow in Make.com for example. That's going to be a thing of the past very soon as AI is able to create its own connections and pathways, integrate itself automatically into your business, etc. Obviously, there are still millions of business owners who think AI is just chat gpt, and that it is still just writing essays for college kids. So, when these AI agents become feasible, i.e. able to replace 1-5 employees for 1/5th the price, there's a huge opportunity to be the middle man helping them use it. I've come to realize: there are going to be 3 types of people left in the next 3-5 years. 1. Engineers who created the tools (getting rich off of equity, stock options, salary) 2. Agencies who actually help SMB and Mid-Large Businesses integrate the new tech into their business 3. People who aren't part of the fun, getting laid off from their jobs, crying to the government and voting in some universal basic income because life is unfair. I am not smart enough (or nerdy enough) to be type #1, but I'm also smart enough not to be #3.

Easily sell this for $499 per month as an add-on. If you work with a niche that has to deal with paperwork on a regular basis (like home services with their permits, lawyers with court filings, CPA's with tax docs, etc etc etc.) this is such a huge time saver you can easily it for $499. The best part is? You can set it up in like 5 minutes. https://www.loom.com/.../174a7b5230ef42adb27cc5ab89ef17aa... Is this sauce or what?

There are already quite a few Skool groups for AI and automation - so why did I build this one? Short story: I wanted to create a place focused on sharing new builds, new inventions - a place that was focused on creating new use cases for AI and automation technology. This is that group. Longer story (the why): Since I was about 6 years old, I've always wanted to be an inventor - someone who builds new things and brings new ideas to the world. That desire to create new things aligned well with building businesses, which was sort of like inventing things, but not quite. I always knew about Zapier and a few basics when it came to automating things, and I was a pretty early adopter of Chat GPT (it got me through 2 years of college) - but I never realized that you could actually combine the two to create some truly amazing things. After stumbling across a few videos from creators on Youtube showcasing some of these mindblowing builds, I knew that's where my future was. Each automation is like a mini-invention that you can bring to life in a matter of hours, if not minutes. With all of the tools we have at our disposal, it's pretty insane what we can build. So, I fired myself from growing Bold Slate (my marketing agency focused on home services websites and SEO), and started Black Polygon AI, my consulting agency for time saving automations (for who exactly, I am still figuring that out). This time, I am documenting my journey in getting our first customers, showing you what we are building, and making everything as visible and transparent as possible. Ultimately, I want to have a thriving community where I can share a ton of value and have a great group where ideas are passed around all of the time. We are still so early to this industry that the sky is the limit. Entire industries are going to be reshaped in the next 1-10 years, and I'm excited to share in the gains with you all. Cheers.

As you can tell, I am very creative at naming Skool groups. This is a fun, casual, and open group dedicated to sharing all of the golden nuggets. My name is Bennett Black - you can call me Ben. For the last year, I've been building a marketing agency, but I couldn't wait on the sidelines, watching the opportunity of AI and automation grow without me in it any longer. Don't get me wrong, the marketing agency model is a nice cash machine once you get the hang of things. It just didn't get me out of bed in the morning. What use is money if it brings you to a life you don't fully enjoy? For me, jumping into the AIA space and letting my SMMA coast wasn't about the money. Hell, I just turned down a partnership with a coach in my space that would have net me $30k mrr on that alone. AIA is all about the thrill of building stuff that makes you say "wow, this is going to change someone's life." So, I started this group. There are many groups out there, but this one is all about building cool stuff, helping out your fellow members, and, well, making a hell of a lot of money in the process. With that being said, check out the classroom tab to find all of my build files from Make.com and stuff I showcase on Youtube. Enjoy!
